@StatisticUrban Twitter is not real life, Ossoff isn't a household name (AOC has been one since 2019)

I think you're going to be surprised if Ossoff gets the nomination and his popularity goes down when nationwide attacks are focused on him (AOC has already been battle-tested on these attacks!)

if this is a moderate then i’ll take the solid overton window shift tbh

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@jonathansmucker I've lived in the Philly suburbs and moderation isn't even how you win them over, lmao

I get so angry when people act like his silly strategy had any merit, Chuck Schumer should not lead Democrats in 2027

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@AustinHoney30 It is the year 2080. The Democratic nominee of Kansas mentions Sam Brownback. The young to middle aged adults only know of the mythical monster they were taught in school as Sam Brownback, whose screams destroy public schooling. They all vote for the Democratic nominee.

I do think Chuck Schumer beats Chris Van Hollen for Senate leadership

I also thought the Mississippi Senate race was safe R but still supported Scott Colom because what if I was wrong in these times

I support Chris Van Hollen because what if I'm wrong in these times

@AnthonyMEmerson His history is crazy (positive), dropped out of Yale to keep Alaska Dems from falling into despair

He won a "safe GOP" Alaska state House district to keeping Democrats at the minimum of seats they need to keep institutional support for the party.

I already really like this guy

@PartyHkt I am sorry I am not interested in becoming a criminal (beyond jaywalking)

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@mndemsoc I feel like it's the other way around.

Parties *punish* most members for rebelling openly, you have to be in a special position (Like Van Hollen is) to get away with it

Private vote means you can pick your choice without the risk of getting bad committee assignments

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@bdquinn It's going to be interesting when all the moderates/centrists here who assume Colom is an ultra moderate realize that he's *very* populist, with policies even I think are way too far

Will he annoy leftists more, or if he's annoy elitism centrists more? We'll see!

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@ZaidJilani Progressives are willing to do actual compromise

We can do 50/50 deals; we got tired of the 95/5 deals we're used to getting and told we need to love the scraps

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@EricMGarcia To put it as nicely as possible, Chris Van Hollen is able to compromise with the left, we're used to Liberals who get mad when we only compromise 90% to their 5%, there is the expecratiob we offer 95%

Chris Van Hollen can do a 50%/50% compromise with us, fantastic!

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@AnthonyMEmerson Thune is the Republican Senate leader because it's a private vote

The big "risk" here is consequences from the establishment for not being sufficiently loyal, which don't exist with a private vote

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@Shadowcoder203 @MaceAhWindu It's the other way around.

Because it's a private vote, you can oppose existing leadership without consequences

This is literally why Thune is the Republican Senate leader, they'd get a MAGA leader if the vote was public information

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@MaceAhWindu Correct

Whereas Jeffries knows exactly who to punish when they defy him, Schumer doesn't, even the ones who say they will *could* just be saying it to appeal to their constituents

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@polisciqueenn I swear that they accidently swapped the candidates, the "Democratic" candidate is a hardcore traditional Republican and the "Republican" candidate is an ultra woke Democrat.

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@DCCyclone @jacobfhsmith Supporting the status quo when you're getting countless calls not to is ideological and partisan greed

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

All of the "Scott Colom is a moderate" people are going to lose their minds when they realize some of his extreme populist views.

[Teddy Eli 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @realTheoElliott]

"Yay Scott Colom won"

"The devout southern Baptist centrist Democrat tough-on-crime prosecutor who's pro-ICE, pro-2A, personally pro-life, anti-DSA, anti-transing kids, anti-transwomen in girls sports, and as socially right-wing as Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski?"

"Wait what?"

[Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @Great_Chumpion]

@nikicaga She's not wrong!

A lot of support for the farther left of the Democratic party is people (even hardcore Resist Libs) tired of how Democrats enable Republicans into winning, and leftists gain victories because they're the "do something" option, we need to keep their trust first.
